Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Sign-off from the location
- Flat ground at the unit base
- One contact for the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Film set catering for your shoot in Beltring
From commercials to long-form drama, we work to your schedule. We serve hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option, and typical bookings are for crew appreciation lunches and period drama shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Beltring, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Label the alternatives clearly
We serve quickly on the call.
China crockery is available on request.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, daylight in Beltring lasts until about 9:15pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Let us know about tight access

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Beltring
Is Beltring too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Beltring close to London?
About 30 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you have alternatives?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you work to set times?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will be ready.

- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
